Publisher Description
Spiritual awakening is not a distant goal. The peace, joy, and wholeness you seek are waiting to be discovered in this very moment. This book is your guide.
Infinite Awakening is a comprehensive guide to the “pathless path” of nondual spirituality. It reveals that awakening is the recognition of your true nature—a state of peace, freedom, and interconnectedness that’s already complete and present within you. It invites you to explore the immediacy of your “natural state” and embrace awakening as a direct experience.
Drawing from decades of experience, including training in Zen, Tibetan Dzogchen, and Advaita Vedanta, and his many years as a spiritual teacher and director of the School for Awakening, author Stephan Bodian addresses essential questions, such as:
What are the stages of spiritual awakening? How does the direct approach of the pathless path encourage awakening?What are the common challenges on this path, and how can we work with them?How does nondual spirituality differ from other spiritual perspectives?What is the role of a teacher, and what are the potential pitfalls?How can we live from an awakened understanding in every moment of our lives?How does trauma affect the awakening process?
As a teacher and psychotherapist, Bodian demystifies awakening with his down-to-earth approach, offering practical teachings, meditations, direct pointers, and exercises to help you not only wake up but also integrate your realization into the ordinary situations and relationships you encounter in everyday life.
Those new to the spiritual path, as well as fans of teachers like Adyashanti, Eckhart Tolle, Loch Kelly, and Sam Harris, will find this an invaluable guide to nondual wisdom and the pathless path.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Spiritual awakening may sound like an otherworldly experience but is actually a "return to a natural state of inherent wakefulness and wisdom," contends psychotherapist and spiritual teacher Bodian (Meditation for Dummies) in this lucid guide. Drawing from his professional experience in trauma psychotherapy as well as Zen Buddhism and Advanta Vedanta, he outlines an approach to achieving nondual awareness, a "direct experiential knowing" that recognizes oneself as inseparable from "being, consciousness, God, spirit." What obscures this awareness are rigid narratives about the self that trap practitioners in "a claustrophobic inner world"; to dismantle them and "awake" into nondual awareness readers can study the work of Buddhist teachers and sages, experience the present "without judgment or intervention," and—once one has "awakened"—integrate this awareness into daily life by living in alignment with "the deeper truth of your being." He also includes helpful guidance for establishing a healthy teacher-student relationship, and takes care to remind readers that awakening is not finite but an ongoing, lifelong process. Bodian distills a host of nondual wisdom traditions with uncommon fluidity, and clarifies the nitty-gritty of spiritual experiences with useful answers to frequently asked questions about each chapter's central points. Those seeking to explore nondual practice from a nondenominational angle will find value here.
